The USA's dominating 15-6 victory over Venezuela made for some compelling theatre until the sixth inning of course, when a close game turned into a rout as the US scored eight runs in the inning. With that, the US advances to the second round, though they will play what is virtually an exhibition match against Venezuela on Wednesday at 3.30p PT.

I saw no Chavez in the field, and he has nothing to do with the team so don't show the world how much of an idiot you really are with comments as stupid an irrelevant as that. Good job on Team USA, but their pitching needs to do better if they want to beat Cuba, Korea, Japan, DR, and PR. (3/9/2009 12:33:43 PM)
